Maybe: couldn't you reduce the number of hits per minute and block the IP for a certain period of time? In WP, for example, you can do this with Wordfence

@leah @werawelt @morihofi
agree also, but fixing the problem, while it is something I'd like to see happen or even contribute to, is not something actionable which would relieve the anxiety* I feel reading about this

* light anxiety level, no need for a CW, I'm just expressing my feelings

@werawelt @morihofi @leah nah, typical visitors do bursts (page, CSS, fonts, images, js), so you’d hurt them too much
